I do not feel bad for the guy. He had a good title reign, beat a lot of top guys, and had his moments where he really got show off his strength. They were building up his credibility, but was it really getting him over? He was already over in some circles due to being a very good wrestler. What about the general audience? The new comedy aspect his character has taken is definitely a change from the character he had for most of his title run. Will that help to get him over?
Whether you do it by building up a guy's credibility or letting him go out there and entertain, overness is what really matters. I don't think a losing streak would be too horrible for the guy. Miz had one last year. The year before that, I believe Sheamus was the guy in a similar position during this time of year. If wins can't get it done, develop a storyline about losses. Getting featured on a regular basis is worth so much more than the position a lot of other guys are in, such as Zack Ryder. When Cesaro is relegated to just Superstars duty and below, I will feel bad for the guy.
Just to put a final nail in the coffin of something I spoke about earlier in the week, Raw's rating this week was a 3.13. Not amazing, but very good for a taped show. And it was indeed The Undertaker's match that saw the greatest amount of viewers. The Undertaker delivered.
